What progressive rehabilitation should look like week by week, and the milestones to watch for at home.
The first six weeks decide how good the knee feels at six months. The priorities early on are controlling swelling, restoring full straightening, bending progressively and walking safely with the aid your surgeon has approved.
What Causes the Problem & How to Reverse It
Week by week, the focus shifts: the first two weeks are about movement and swelling control, weeks three to four build bend and walking distance, and by weeks five to six the emphasis moves to strength — quad sets, straight-leg raises, step work and stationary cycling.
When You Should Seek Professional Physiotherapy
Stiffness that does not improve, increasing redness, fever, or sudden sharp pain are reasons to call your surgeon. Everything else is usually a pacing problem, and a physiotherapist can adjust the plan.
““Tissue that is unloaded loses strength and resilience rapidly. Early guided movement and controlled progressive loading always deliver superior, lasting recovery over passive rest.”
